I've seen a few of these at air shows over the years. I have a kit (haven't built it yet) of the A-37B. The real thing isn't much bigger than the model.

It was pretty hard NOT to see a T-37 in the 1960s through 1990s. They were everywhere!

Saw one in 2004 at an air show in Millville, NJ.

Did you notice the unit? The last operator was the 80th FTW at Sheppard with the distinct 'Euro-NATO' marks.

It's in my gallery in the folder marked "Aircraft". From what I can see, the tail code is "EN", but I can't see anything from that angle. I have other shots of it but they're buried in a box in the back closet.

Yep, That is a Sheppard jet. Β More than likely, this jet is actually 'owned' by the German Air Force as they bought quite a few of these for the "Euro-NATO" program back in the day.

Okay. I don't know who flew it to the show. It was a decade or so ago and I never got to find out who the pilot(s) were.
